The steps of Houston City Hall will soon host a historic gathering of arguably America’s most maligned demographic—Black men.

On Sunday, Oct. 27, 2024, at 3 p.m., 10,000 Black men are expected to unite for the 10,000 Black Men of Greater Houston Rally.

This non-partisan event will emphasize the power of unity as Black men from across Houston come together to reaffirm their commitment to family, community and collective progress.

The rally will highlight the everyday contributions of Black men, who consistently show up for their families, neighborhoods, and communities. By coming together, the men of Houston will demonstrate that unity is the key to building a stronger, more supportive environment for future generations.

Women and families are encouraged to attend in support of this powerful movement of solidarity and community-building.

“We are confident that this rally will be a defining moment for our community,” said Dallas S. Jones, president and CEO of Elite Change, Inc., and convener of the event. “With all the national conversations happening about Black men, the truth is there are more of us who care about our families, our communities, and our country.

“By standing together in unity, we send a powerful message that the time is now to tackle the issues before us—economic empowerment, equity, and social justice for Black men in Houston and the entire country. This is about real change, and it starts with us.”

The 10,000 Black Men of Greater Houston Rally is a demonstration of the strength that comes from unity. Black men in Houston are standing together to create a more united, empowered future. This event is open to all who believe in the power of community-building and collective action, including women and families.
